Interpretation Of Results

The need for data relating to fluid forces and moments has led to general acceptance of oscillatory testing of ship models. Although the technique is well established, certain problems still attend the interpretation of results. The nature of the difficulties is explained and they are elucidated by making allowance for time history effects, using functional analysis. Allowance for these effects in this way also establishes that certain results which have hitherto been assumed to require nonlinear representations are in fact capable of very accurate linear specification.

This paper is an introduction to model test methods as a means of establishing the manoeuvring characteristics of ships. Consideration is first given to the reasons for the adoption of model techniques and the information to be obtained. The model techniques are considered under three sections: free models, constrained models and mathematical modelling. The standard tests employed are briefly described and the information that can be obtained, together with any problems. There is finally a short discussion of the problems of ship/model correlation.

Broken Ice

Model tests on the Shoulder Ice Barrier (SIB) were performed in the large ice tank of the Hamburg Ship Model Basin (HSVA) during July 2007. The concept of the SIB has previously been presented in a companion paper under the same title at the OMAE 2006 (Gu¨rtner et al., 2006). Model tests were performed to investigate the conceptual design and force conditions under ice impact. Design conditions for the Northern Caspian Sea were assumed for the model tests. The characteristic shoulder sections’ inclination has been varied to investigate their contribution towards stabilizing broken ice and to prevent ice from over-riding. Ice up-riding onto the barrier contributes towards increased vertical forces. The global vertical forces showed to be higher than the global horizontal forces, and in particular when ice grounding was observed. Even under extreme rubble heights of up to 9.4 m (full scale), ice overtopping the structure was effectively prevented. The SIB showed the potential to be utilized as ice protection structure for future shallow water developments.
